- NZBGet v23+ and Python 3.8+
- Legacy NZBGet v22: use v2.0 release
- Python 3.7 or older: use v1.1.0 release
- Python 2.x: use v1.1.0 release
NZBGet extension that checks if the data in the NZB file is sufficiently complete at your usenet provider(s), before starting the download. If incomplete it would wait for a certain period and check the completion of the NZB file again. This check is done by requesting the header status, and is in normal cases done within seconds (like 1 - 5 sec. for a 1 GB file). This method is significantly faster than when NZBGet would report a failure, after actual downloading a (part of) the files that end up incomplete. The script is typically useful for issues related to:
- very recent posts,
- failed downloads, which after a while are just ok (propagation issues),
- incomplete posts,
- taken down posts (DMCA, etc.),
- old posts,
- long par repair times,
- downloading (parts of) NZB files beyond repair,
- unnecessary use of expensive block / slow fill accounts.
The above would generally result in error messages like ‘missing articles’, ‘unable to repair’ or ‘additional par files required’, ‘not enough par-blocs’, etc. The script avoids these messages.
